OK. loud and clear Desi :D
Now, I have provided the reference to part of AC21 law with my interpretation, which allows visa portability (unofficially known as transfer) from one sponsor to another and excempt from numeric limits.
All I hear is "incorrect", "wrong" followed by individual interpretation or opinion. I respect all disagreement part, Which may be/not be accurate. Why don't you quantify your comments with references to law or CIS memo? Don't you think discussion need to be healthy and fair?
Now, I have a lot of filthy and rediculous offensive messages on the discussion threads with reds, which I would not like to post in public. If this is what our anonymous so called "highly skilled" can bring to the table, then I am speachless.
gapala,
This thread is not a discussion thread. OP asked a question. We need to provide him a precise and satisfactory answer. There is no point in confusing him with endless discussion.
His situation is very simple. There is no question of out of status here to begin with. OP knows this very well. Many of the people who responded here ( excluding me ) are quite knowledgeable in immigration matters.
When in doubt, always refer lawyer's newsletter/USCIS memos rather than us trying to interpret the law. We are no lawyers.

This question is not to undermine the effort, which was tremendous but just from a realistic point of view...
I'm just curious to know how long it will take (or rather how long we are prepared to wait) for the impact of this rally to be felt and what are the changes that can be expected from USCIS as a result ?
Say, after waiting for a few months, status quo continues, what further actions are planned to persist with IV's cause (i.e. more rallies or by other means) ?
If the same question has been already raised, please ignore.
Thanks.
Change always takes time. Being in DC and visiting lawmakers was an incredible crash course for me in the practicalities of American politics. It was fascinating. I have to say it was one of the most satisfying things I've ever done in my life.
Whilst we are pushing for rapid changes, the realties are that building the type of relationships that we were doing in DC can take time to foster change
Anyway - lets close the thread. I was hoping to get some better information about how we can improve our motivation techniques for the future. I got many answers...

Anything asking exemption from cap means asking unlimited numbers that should have real luck to pass in the Senate. If lobbying persons come with reasonable numbers then that should have some chance to pass. But it needs to be seen for the reaction of house.
would create a quota exemption for certain highly skilled immigrants who have at least three years of U.S. work experience.
That pretty much covers almost all of us in IV

Congratulations and enjoy your green card! Don't worry about the priority dates not being current when yours was approved. My green card was approved in September 2007, sometime after the July fiasco wherein the PD for all categories became unavailable. Since my gc approval, I've been in and out of the US, and I hadn't had any single problem getting back in.

I just called and got a similiar very supportive response from the staff. She mentioned that she is getting a lot of phone calls about the 3 bills and will let him know about it. Go IV Go :)
I just called and spoke to a staff member at Lamar Smith's office. Apparently a lot of calls are being made :D. She knew why I was calling before I could tell her. I was told that the Rep. has not made a public stand on these bills yet. I told her that I would like the Representative to support these bills if and when they come to the floor.
Keep calling, guys!.

Hi,
1. I filed for my I-485 in July 2007 with the old fee. This included AP & EAD
2. AP and EAD were renewed in 2008 Sept, with new fee for both of these
3. AP is up for renewal, so is it free for me,or do I need to pay $305 again?
My question arises, since I assumed that the "free renewal" is for anyone who pays the new fee "once" for the EAD/AP.
Anyone who knows about this thing?
Thanks.

Dear Members,
As we enter the final 15 days of our advocacy days preparation (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1437978) we would like to thank our members that have indicated that they would be coming to DC on June 7 and 8. We also want to thank all State chapters, volunteers and action item leaders that have been helping out with the effort behind the scenes. The massive planning, coordination and implementation cannot happen without the support of each and every member. Help has ranged from phone call campaigns, media campaigns, lawmaker meetings, document preparation, state chapter activities, accommodation initiatives, reaching out to various employers and like minded organizations etc.
We still have a long way to go in our coordination and implementation. IV membership is working hard to make this event a success. The advocacy day work is being implemented at this time and lawmaker office appointments are being sought. Everyone that has indicated their presence for this event will be contacted personally. We are planning an impressive congressional reception event on June 8, in DC and expect several lawmakers, staffers and leaders of other like minded organizations attending the reception. It will be a great opportunity for IV members to meet these important representatives. There is also going to be a notable Press event on June 8 that we are planning. There are several initiatives being taken that we will be announcing in the days leading up to these events. The event is in itself a huge task that requires planning from getting space for various parts of this event, space for gathering of all IV members (situation room) to transporting all advocacy day material, providing training sessions for members, getting appointments from lawmaker offices, inviting reporters, press release to details like photocopying documents for each meeting, folders and digital advocacy media with IV branding and soft copy of all IV documents as a leave behind in every lawmaker office.
We recently invested thousands of dollars per year subscription in providing an easy advocacy and media contact interface for our members, Refer to http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1519451
These emails, letters and communications will help us with more effective and targeted advocacy to help get much needed attention for our issues. All this will need investment from IV and we can do it only if our members support us in this huge task by contributing funds as well as time. We already invest a lot in the advocacy effort we do on regular basis.
IV effort needs 50 thousand dollars in the next 15 days to make sure we can meet our immediate needs and also make a big impact via this advocacy day events. We can plan more ideas like full page ads in national newspapers if we can have sufficient resources. This event will most certainly bring our issues to the national center stage and help us get much needed immigration relief in the months ahead.
We are a small grassroots organization with a strong resolve and when we all pool in our energies, intelligence and resources; we can all collectively create wonders. We do not want our limited funds to stop us from going all out. Despite our fulltime jobs, IV core is committed to work harder and we are happy to have the asset of a large IV community to support us in this mammoth task.
This post is to urge everyone to come forward and help yourself in this short term funding drive. If you have not contributed till now, please consider contributing. If you cannot make it to DC due to personal or professional reasons then do show your admiration for our effort. If you have recently received your green cards, then please consider contributing as a way of celebrating and endorsing our effort. Times are tough for any immigration relief and in tough times we have to work harder to get anything done. Your contribution, words of support and enthusiasm helps everybody to maintain higher level of motivation which is so important for this kind of community effort. It is up to each member if you feel from your heart to contribute towards this cause. If you decide to contribute, you can either easily contribute via our website page
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=44. or you could send us a check. We suggest individual contributions of $50/$100 to cover the cost of this event.
We request each and every member reading this post to please contribute. We will continue to post updates that will make us all feel proud and part of this organization. Thank you for your support. Please keep it up.
Thanks

Indeed it makes no sense that people who have families to support get nothing, while those who do not have families get it.
Anyway, it is not over yet. I have been able to get congress to approve checks for military families, so anything is possible.
That is really great NEWS. at least, some are benefiting from the left outs. How did that happen so quickly. What are the hurdles in getting it for legal immigrants (for example, H4 dependents)?

That is absolutely right. I would also extend the argument from the perspective of the sponsoring employer.
The excessively longer wait would make the employer biased against hiring people from retrogressed countries with similar skills/experience.
Especially since this is an employment based category, I believe your line of argument should work!
It's a valid point from ur prospective, but let me give u the example if the shoe was on the other foot..
I'm sure this is a simplistic generalization, but urs is too
* In 2001, 20 people graduate in retrogressed country and equally qualified 20 graduate in non retrogressed.. both aspire to land a US opportunity
* In a few weeks, all the 20 in the retrogressed country find opportunities among dozens of giant offshoring firms that quickly send them on H1 or L1 projects, within months or may be a year they are settled in the US and at most in 2003 their greencard process is up and running
* The 20 equally qualified non-retrogressed however linger in their homeland for years and duke it out till the brightest 3 manage to find a rare opportunity that only comes every several years.. those 3 finally come to the US in 2005 and may be start their gc in 2006
* Turns out (or actually it was known all along to people before they chose to came) that the US only gives 5 greencards per year and because they know qualified people exist in all countries and they don't want few countries to swallow the whole quota alone, they give 2/5 to non retrogressed and 3/5 to retrogressed.. only then do some people remember to cry not fair, well it wasn't fair to start with!
I agree a universal 7% limit for any coutry regardless of its population and number of college graduates is stupid.. the percentages need to be adjusted. But to tell me that the 3 unretrogressed have to stand at the end of the line behind the equally qualified 20 retrogressed who came here faster (and chose to come here knowing their homeland is retrogressed) that is really fair.. yeah right!

USCIS is under DHS. DHS is under the President. The President has a lot to do with immigrants. He can tell DHS to make some administrative fixes to the immigration system.
Don't downplay the role of the President when it comes to immigration.
